The system supplied comprises a 16.1m span overhead single girder gantry and a 3.29t SWL S-series electric rope hoist. The crane has cross and long travel speeds to 20m/min and hoisting speed to 3.1m/min, with a 4.29m height of lift. It is operated via a radio remote controller.

The S-series crane uses synthetic rope, which requires no lubrication, eliminating the possibility of delicate electronic components within drive units being contaminated with oil.

Smooth movement and accurate load positioning are assured by the crane’s infinite and stepless speed control. A tilted drum and off-set reeving further ensure smooth, accurate load handling.
